I won't give too many details because this internet interaction is deeply unserious, but I made a YouTube comment taking a jab at Trump, and someone responded to me with "Oh, yeah, but Biden's not any better about this, now is he?" smuglord

I said nothing about Biden. The YouTube video had nothing to do with Biden and all about Trump. Funnily enough, I agree with the user's comment because it's correct, but he feels inclined to state it under the assumption that I don't agree with it.

I'm somewhat shocked because I thought that, at this point, especially with Joe Biden being constantly criticized by the left for condoning genocide, people would stop using this tired, old WHATABOUTISM, but I guess YouTube comments have a very fucking low bar for this kind of shit.

Also, this person called Biden left-wing in his comment, so.............................

Had an older "progressive" lib tell me, in person, that if we don't support Biden then we'll have Genocides all over the world! I didn't know there was an additive property to genocide like that. His argument was effectively "You think one genocide is bad?! Try two (hypothetically)!"

Then told me how Trump would ruin the climate, unlike Biden.

No ability to see past Biden vs Trump

These are deeply unserious people.
